Farming Today

A badger cull could be introduced into Northern Ireland to help stop the spread of Bovine TB. But will it work? A new report has brought together the results of fifty-five thousand experiments about crop diversification. Sybil Ruscoe speaks to the report's author. For Meadows week Rebecca Rooney visits a water meadow in the Thames Valley to hear about the benefit these spaces have on yields, biodiversity and productivity, and Sybil asks farmer Olly Harrison about harvesting in this very hot weather. Presenter: Sybil Ruscoe Producer in Bristol: Toby Field
